Freestyle Photo has Arista Premium in 35mm Again

[Steve M.]

Not sure if this is old news, but the Arista Premium that was supposedly discontinued is now available at Freestyle again. I ordered some this morning. All I saw was 24 exposure, but that's fine.

Can you check the expiry date once you get them ? If it's close dated it's probably not recent stock

They only have it in 24 exposure rolls. 36 exp rolls are still not available.

That's good news... I will have to check my local store tomorrow to see if they've stocked up. Thanks for posting this.

[halfway through #1 of my last 3 rolls...]

Finished the last of my 36exp rolls last week. I think all they are going to have is 24exp rolls till those are gone correct?

I'll probably get a few 24exp rolls as I like them better than the 36.

any thread will be more useful long term
if OP's take the time to post in the correct forum
from the get go.

Thanks,

That is a great deal come back to life again. Nowhere else where you can get Tri-X quality for Arista EDU Ultra prices. I just wish they would sell this in 120.

I don't think 24 exp was ever unavailable. If you really want 36 exp., I think per frame there's not a huge advantage cost wise over B&H bought Tri-X when you factor in shipping. And it might have a later expiration date.

$2.69 * 36/24 = $4.03 vs B&H $4.49

For me shipping was $8.67 for up to $200 at B&H and $15 at freestyle. So you are saving 32 cents a 36 exp. roll.

Good point. Plus my film sleeves are all for 36 rolls. I suppose filling 2 sleeves with 3 24 exposure rolls is fine though.

Additionally, if you develop your own negs. you'll use 50% more 1-shot developer.

Realistically I always got 27 exposures from 24 shot Arista Premium.

Yes, the 24 exposure rolls have been in stock all along.
The eight rolls I bought last month are dated 10/2014.
